       Re'Ni's tail started shaking as Tec called her a 'beautiful
       dragoness', but she didn't want to show Tec how much of a big
       deal it was for her.. she closed up to him and licked his cheek,
       followed by a rather loud laugh, {"Hahahahe, not worry! Re'Ni
       likes excited Tec!"} she then smirked while booping his snoot
       with hers and pointing him with her claw {"Re'Ni is proud that
       caught handsome dragon too! But eat whole if naughty again!
       Mhm?"}
       -
       Aboard the soul's eclipse Cui had taken again he normal tiny
       form, she seemed to be worried about Xefr, flying around him in
       circles while munching her claws [i]"Damn my fire! I should've
       warned him   ..the damn old goat is always yacking about how
       violence is never the way! That should be hint enough. Cui you
       Coac'tzah!" she turned to Myst with a sad unsure look "Aww, I
       don't know. The barrier was destroyed, so probably.."

       Tec beamed at the compliments, and kissed Re'Ni on the check,
       "Heh, I'll try ma'am, but I make no promises." Then, the pair
       reached a hallway in which there were about a dozen large
       double-doors, all with a large letter on them and . Tec walked
       over to one which had a large 'T' inscribed upon it, and pressed
       his paw against it. Slowly, it opened, and Tec gestured to Re'Ni
       to come inside. Tec's room had multiple prominent features.
       There was a massive bed, at least triple the size of the Shard,
       a massive computer which currently had a display of the ship and
       it's systems on it, and a set of Blue GD-Champion Power Armor
       hanged on the back wall. There was a massive bookshelf as well,
       almost fully packed, and the floor was almost entirely a giant
       rug, only ending at the very edges of the room. Yet most of it
       was quite empty. Tec looked around, and sighed, "Well, here it
       is. It's not much, and I've never exactly been keen on adding
       too much, since I consider the entire ship my home."
       -
       Myst looked at Xefr again, and looked back to Cui, "Don't be so
       worried, he's fine. From what I sense, he'll wake up in maybe 5
       minutes, and will just need a short rest. Thankfully Dragon
       insides are a lot tougher than that of most species. And I think
       that if nonviolence was the goal, it was technically
       accomplished. Consider this, Xefr or I never fought. Xefr hurt
       himself to avoid hurting somebody else, though I suppose he
       thought that the Shadow would try and stop me from getting that
       orb, which is why he knocked himself out. Sometimes I worry for
       his sanity."

       The black dragoness was too excited to have a place she could
       call home, a home she would share with someone she loved
       nonetheless, so she did not care much about how it looked like.
       {"Room more than Re'Ni hope!"} She walked in the room and headed
       towards the armour, tapping it to hear what sound it would make,
       then jumped on the bed and happily pressed her paws against it,
       being quite thrilled it was bouncy - she never had a bed to
       begin with. After calming a bit, she curled on the bed and
       turned to Tec with a big smile on her face {"Love Tec! Perhaps
       in future add a bit of Re'Ni in room ...Tank with fishes for
       morning snack!"} she then pointed at the books {"read much?
       Erhyna used read book to Re'Ni  ...about Dragon Age, long time
       ago."}
       -
       Cui turns to Myst, still with a worried look on her face "I know
       Xefr is fine, but I shudder to think of what could've happened.
       ...And he did use violence; against himself. I don't know how
       she will take it. Old age has taken a toll on her mind."   ..Cui
       seeing Xefr's vitals rising up stops worrying so much and closes
       up to his head while still talking to Myst "I guess he's better
       now  ..what a thick head! Hey! Xeeeery, wake up!"

       Tec smiled as he watched Re'Ni look around, listening to the
       ding of the hollow armor being tapped. Looking to the dragoness
       on his bed, "Of course. This room is as much yours as it is mine
       now, so I think at least a little bit of Re'Ni needs to be added
       to make it complete. " The Shard then walked over to the
       bookshelf, inspecting it for a bit and then looking back to
       Re'Ni, "I don't do too much reading. Most of these are old
       instruction manuals for building and repairing things, before I
       knew it by heart. But there are some things I actually read out
       of interest in here. Though I don't recognize that word,
       'Erhyna' I mean. Is that something in draconic?"
       -
       Myst looks over to Xefr, who was slowly opening his eyes and
       regaining his senses, "Thick head... You don't know how accurate
       an observation that is." Xefr groaned as he stood up, stumbling
       due to a little imbalance. In a dazed voice, the old drake
       spoke, "Ugh... How long was I out? Did we pass? And why are you
       so close Cui?"

       She sighed and turned her eyes facing her paws, Re'Ni's mind was
       now plunged in old memories  ...she started to speak, her eyes
       still fixated at her paws and breathing deeply {"Erhyna is name
       of flower in Urvanyen - language of Ghashyr. Also name of
       closest thing Re'Ni had to family before Tec. Erhyna not like
       many others, despite young herself, did not fear Re'Ni; knew
       Re'Ni just young scared Valx. Although did not understand what
       Re'Ni said, always cared ..talked to Re'Ni, told stories,
       brushed  scales, shared about life   ..grew up together, but
       soon Erhyna's body started decaying, hair greyed..  ..then Re'Ni
       alone for very long time."} Re'Ni's eyes seem to be filled with
       sorrow, but she tries to fight it by looking at Tec.
       -
       Cui made flip in air and clapped her paws, her voice being full
       of joy "He's awake! Etzoal'Caholt! ..46 minutes and 25 seconds!
       Probably! Because I am your spirit guardian!" She hugged Xefr's
       neck with her wings and then flew back again. "Now, while the
       curse was raised, as is evident by everything not being red
       ...I am not sure if the fluffbum will approve of the way you did
       it. But at least we succeeded and you're alive!"
       All psionic power had left the system, and even the volcanic
       planet beneath had again stabilised.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Tec understood what she meant perfectly, and leaped up onto the
       bed beside her. Covering her with his wing, and pulling her in,
       he looked into Re'Ni's eyes and started speaking, "I know
       exactly how you feel, Re'Ni. Our draconic immortality is both a
       blessing and a curse, and I have lost many friends to time,
       forcing me to live on with their memories. It's hard to think
       about without being overcome by sorrow. Yet we stand up, and
       power through it all. I for one have no intention of moving on
       from this material plane anytime soon, so don't worry about me
       leaving you. But I'm counting on you to do the same, because I
       don't want to chance losing you forever. Even if there is an
       afterlife, how do I know if you will be there too? There is no
       way I'm risking that miserable existence. So Re'Ni, I can
       promise you that you will never be alone again if I have
       anything to say about it, but I need you to say the same to me."
       -
       Xefr chuckled as he stabilized himself, everything returning to
       normal. "All good news then. Especially the living part, but I
       can't say the spirit guardian news is far behind." The drake
       then walked over to look at the planet from the edge of the
       hanger, grunting in content, "I suppose that we are done here,
       everything seems to be normal. Let's move on to Red Dot number
       two!" But as Xefr walked back, he tripped on nothing and fell
       over, prompting a sigh from Myst. The Shard walked over to his
       companion and helped him up, scolding him as well, "And you are
       going to spend the journey there laying down and resting. I
       don't care if you're technically the one in charge, that's a
       bloody order."

       Upon hearing what Tec was saying, Re'Ni started smiling and
       sobbing, only to burst into tears in a matter of seconds and
       place her forehead on Tec's {"Re'Ni Promise! Never leave Tec
       alone! No soul deserves that.. Re'Ni know that well. Even if
       have to fight the universe itself for that; together forever!"}
       Her crying stops and she sighs, though this time it is a sigh of
       relief and her face is adorned with a serene smile.
       -
       Cui smiled and made a small salute with her wing while in
       mid-air "Yes, sir! Course set for deadly trap number two!" she
       then nodded at Myst's order, agreeing with what was being said..
       "Myst is right Xery! head injury is seriours even for a strong
       species like Qoatl. I remember we had an Emperor,
       Acuom'Api'Chtli, that got his head hit hard in an accident
       ...he always flew backwards from that day on and did crazy
       things like giving autonomy to all the colonies."
       The second system in question is also devoid of life, however it
       is even more peculiar than the previous as its sun is covered in
       a thick black shadow, damning the whole system to darkness,
       including a planet that has a rather strong Psionic aura  ..much
       stronger than the previous one too and perhaps stronger than
       even the Scion's presence gave out back in Shyr.
       Its surface is covered in black rock, forming peculiar
       stalagmites all over the place  ...a dark fog is present in
       every part of it.
       The psionic trail comes from a chasm in the surface, withholding
       some kind of sentient construction inside.

       Tec smiles, and starts to whisper, "Thank you for that Re'Ni...
       Together forever." He remained there for a few more seconds,
       smiling blissfully. Then, he finally pulled back and looked
       around the room for a moment, before resettling his eyes on
       Re'Ni. "So... The day is still young. Got any ideas?"
       -
       Xefr glanced over at Myst, though his voice was aimed at Cui,
       "Well, I've already split myself into autonomous pieces, so I
       think my cravings for liberty are sated. I think I'm fine." Myst
       seemed to be thinking, and then looked over to Cui, "Hey, if
       this other guardian doesn't like violence, then why the hell are
       these tests deadly?"
       Xefr looked out at the planet, and grunted. "Well, that's a
       somber sight. Now let's get down there and alleviate it." But
       then, Myst flashed his eyes and made a mock look of suprise. "Oh
       no, it seems that the teleporter is still cooling down. Looks
       like we'll have to wait a few minutes. In the meantime, why
       don't you sit down and rest Ess?" The Old Drake was not amused,
       and with a flash of his own eyes the group was sent to the
       surface, to land next to the chasm.

       Re'Ni scratched her head with her claw wondering what she could
       do, and then it got to her {"Yes! Show ship to Re'Ni!  ..then
       perhaps watch stars together and drink hot beverage."} her eyes
       where again beaming from her white psionic energy.
       -
       Cui laughed and waved her claw in disagreement to Xefr "Hahaha,
       no! I just repeated what she said about this particular trap
       ..it has something to do with death, that's all I know.  ..she
       has an annoying thing for puns you see, but the 'tests' aren't
       actually deadly   ..provided you don't get yourself unconscious
       under a volcano." her tone was rather angry as she finished but
       she was still smiling. She then thought to herself and added
       "And they're not just tests  ..everything said and seen is real.
       For all her annoying whining and advices, she's not a common
       witch as you've witnessed."
       There's a small stair down the chasm, as they get down any
       remaining light is replaced by complete and total darkness
       ..however Cui provides a small floating white orb for lighting.
       As they close the psionic aura seems to come from everywhere, as
       if thousands of souls stand there. A few voices can be heard in
       the darkness, but it could just be the wind. Cui starts having
       chills down her spine "Damn that old goat..  ..she didn't
       mention it would be THIS place. Xery, whatever you do, think and
       be calm. This might be more than any mortal can bear.   ...this
       is where the five-thousand spirits rest."
       Everything is pitch black and covered in fog, but as they reach
       the bottom they can see something  ...a small floating black orb
       surrounded by a white light can be seen, like a tiny eclipse. As
       Xefr and his followers close by to it the voice of a thousand
       spirits can be heard in unison in the distance...

       Tec smiled at the idea, and nodded. "Alright then. A tour of the
       ship it is! That way I can show you all the important rooms.
       Let's see, I think the library is a good first stop, though we
       could also visit the primary barracks if you want to get to know
       the non-draconic crew of this ship."
       -
       The Chasm's darkness somewhat unnerved Xefr, and Cui's warning
       didn't help. But he was happy he didn't take Tec along this
       time, the results of that could have been horrible. Myst was
       however in his normal state of unrelenting calm, and even seemed
       to be more interested once Cui mentioned spirits. Xefr kept
       moving towards the orb, and responded to the spirits mid-walk,
       "You'll have to be more specific I'm afraid. I remember many
       people, of both genders and otherwise. And even then, the damned
       don't get second chances, especially when they already had them
       once."
